A Futuristic Christmas

Why, so much progress has been made from the days of my grandfather Now, it already does look like we do live in the future But what would it look like in fifty years, pray, do you wonder Would Christmas be still a joy, a family getaway Would the birth of Christ still be celebrated Would faith still be there Pray, would life be still so fair Even if now, already, for some, life does be so unfair See, I believe in some fifty years, the way people celebrate Christmas would change Why, the whole setting of the Earth itself would change Seas would cover the lands Maybe life would be no more as dense as it is Maybe by then aliens would have conquered Earth Or maybe, humans would have colonized some other planet Whichever, in some fifty years, only a blessed few would get to celebrate Christmas Forgotten would be this grand event Forgotten for, the world would have other cares More important ones, like catering to humanity's survival Yes indeed, how to stay alive if seas do be everywhere How to celebrate freedom when aliens would have made of humans, slaves How to celebrate Christmas when some of your family live on another planet How to celebrate Christmas when food is scarce When living has become so dangerous When hoping would all of life, hoping of being by some way or another, saved Why, I see Christmas as being someday a mere memory As do be the Legends of ancient Egypt Maybe, in some fifty years from now, a Christmas tree would be a mere drawing Maybe Santa Claus would be unknown Maybe in some fifty years from now, Parents would have no money to buy their children gifts Maybe, they would sit, thank the skies for allowing them to be together And remember of the days when Christmas was a grand celebration Maybe they would have to be fast For the alien masters would be needing them Maybe they would even have to celebrate in hiding For the aliens would have other celebrations, other beliefs Why, the future does be uncertain Nothing does promise humanity a positive gain Life can turn dark, as it can get better Whichever, for now, let us be thankful for what life does bestow on us! 29 Nov 2015 Contest : A Futuristic Christmas
